Inspiration for a contemporary living room remodel in Yokohama

Inspired by their years in Japan and California and their Scandinavian heritage, we updated this 1938 home with a earthy palette and clean lines. Rift-cut white oak cabinetry, white quartz counters and a soft green tile backsplash are balanced with details that reference the home's history. Classic light fixtures soften the modern elements. We created a new arched opening to the living room and removed the trim around other doorways to enlarge them and mimic original arched openings. Removing an entry closet and breakfast nook opened up the overall footprint and allowed for a functional work zone that includes great counter space on either side of the range, when they had none before. The new pantry wall incorporates storage for the microwave, coat storage, and a bench for shoe removal.

The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

This Spanish inspired home was in need of a landscape facelift to match the sophistication and uniqueness of the new homeowners. We were able to transform the front yard and stately courtyard into space that honored the tradition of European design while adding whimsy to make this space feel unique and comfortable.

Inspiration for a mid-sized asian kitchen remodel in Austin

Wabi Sabi aesthetics is the core of a design concept. The interior shows respect for the old elements. Important points in décor are Serhii’s collection of ceramics and antique home furnishings. Interesting pieces borrowed from the past – 17th-century table in the master bedroom, ancient lavas and wooden vessels which were used for the laundry. Portals between the rooms are decorated with processed trunks of trees on the pristine millstones.

We wanted the guest bedroom to be relaxing for our guests. Calming blue was used on the walls, white linen drapes, textured charcoal bedding with yellow accents. A little black to give a little depth to the room. The fan above the bed is from Japan and the yellow chair is a family vintage piece we wanted to incorporate. The side tables we made out of 2x6 planks and steel pipe for the tripod legs.
